Abstract:
Dogs live longer lives than ever and the impact of aging affects their daily functions and quality of life. Understanding physiologic changes of aging and how this impacts mobility can help care givers provide effective interventions to improve functional movement. Implementation of customized exercise programs aimed at improving coordination/balance, strength, endurance, and functional tasks can improve daily quality of life and longevity. Exercise has wide ranging benefits from improving cardiovascular and musculoskeletal health to mental health and improving the human-animal bond. Diligent adherence to routine moderate level of exercise and rehabilitation revitalizes the lives of aging pets and their owners.
